Mid-Day reported that Eros International Media Limited has now issued a legal caution notice, claiming that it is the “sole and exclusive owner” of all rights to Tanu Weds Manu films. The notice warned that any unauthorised sequel “shall be treated as infringement” and met with action.
It also added that the relations between Eros and Rai have reportedly been strained, after the filmmaker criticised the company for using AI to alter the climax of his film Raanjhanaa (2013) in a recent re-release (Re-release with a twist, July 12).
What happened in Raanjhanaa AI-altered climax?
In the original plot of Raanjhanaa, Kundan (Dhanush) is shot and sent to the ICU. Zoya (Sonam Kapoor) rushes to the hospital to be by his side at the moment of his death. However, in the Tamil version of the film, Ambikapathy (re-released in cinemas), Dhanush's character, Kundan, doesn't die.
Sonam's character Zoya stares at Dhanush lying on a bed. Kundan is then seen sitting on the bed with his eyes open, leaving Bindiya (Swara Bhasker) and Murari (Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub) in tears of happiness.
